What is the Climate?

Climate is not to be mixed up with weather - Weather is the daily condition that we notice each day - whether it is sunny, rainy, snowy, windy, hot or cold. Climate is the average pattern of weather over many years for a particular region (this could be the United Kingdom, England or Surrey County).

Climate records can be used to see data like how hot or cold a region was years ago and the amount of rainfall that fell. This data can be used to compare with current weather conditions and look for patterns and trends in the climate over many years.
